My mother used to buy a Boston Creme Pie Cake mix, Does anybody know what store I can find it at?
My aunt used to get the Duncan Hines mix. I haven't seen it on shelf in years. Super simple mixes to use to make Boston Creme Pie! Pound cake mix: mix according to instructions. Bake in 2 or 3 9-inch round cake pans. Split with long sharp knife or with thread. Each layer makes a cake. You can freeze them after splitting them and you have instant base for the next one. Vanilla Pudding and Pie filling mix: Get the instant one and use the pie filling recipe on the package. Spread this between the halves of the split Pound Cake layer. Chocolate Syrup: add some powdered sugar to 1/2 cup of chocolate syrup to make it a little thicker and pour over top of your Cake.
How do I ship a pumpkin pie to the UK from the USA? My mother in law lives in the English countryside and would like one.
You might have some problems with that. Aside from the difficulty of packing it so that it wouldn’t get broken or crushed, and the problem of keeping it fresh, shipping food internationally is generally frowned on - UK Customs would probably seize it and destroy it. You might get away with this, though - send her a can of pumpkin and tell her to follow the instructions on the can. Better yet, locate a source of canned pumpkin in the UK and have one drop shipped. Pastry crusts are hard to find over there, but being as she lives in the UK, she will have no trouble making one from scratch.
How should I tactfully tell my mother in law that I don't like her pies? (which she always brings and forces me to eat)
Always is how frequent? Everyday? Once a week? Twice per month?Everyday? You need to say, "I haven't told you this, but I'm really not a pie person."Once a week? Just eat a slice. Make your husband or wife eat the rest.Twice per month? Just eat a slice. Make your husband or wife eat the rest.Your husband/wife is your partner. They have a shared responsibility to stop the pies from mom. Or, she'll just continue to bring them. Maybe they aren't specifically for you, but for your partner (who probably loves her pies?).Wishing you some backing on that, if so… ;)Some other options: buy some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream? Start making pie requests since she obviously likes to bake for others. If you're going to eat pie — might as well be a pie you like!
Did/does your mother enjoy cooking?
During the 1960s, my mother was a traditional stay-at-home Mom. Growing up, we always had enjoyable family dinners, and Mom’s cooking was very good. Sometimes she’d bake tasty pies with incredibly flaky crusts, and my favorite, cinnamon rolls!I started helping Mom in the kitchen when I was very young, and by the time I was 12 or so, I could prepare most of the basic dishes that we frequently had on the family menu. Learning to cook at a young age was something that I took pride in and has served me well throughout the years.Mom took a part-time job when my brother and I were teenagers. It became my responsibility to “start dinner” on the days that she worked. I chuckle when thinking about that: “start dinner” meant that I would prepare the food, and Mom would serve ;-)When Mom and Dad retired, they relocated to Florida. They moved into their new home on Christmas Eve, and my brother and I and our families were on hand to help. Mom made an announcement: since she was now retired, she was done with cooking. Forever.We ordered pizza.It turns out that Mom really hated cooking all those years while we were growing up, but there wasn’t an alternative so she just did it. Mom stuck to her guns, and only grudgingly made Christmas cookies a couple of times during her retirement years. Dad learned how to cook, and makes a wicked chili!
What was the nicest food your mother made for you?
The first non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner we had when I was in 3rd grade.Her mother had passed the winter before, and she had been the one to make the best Traditional Thanksgiving dinner. ALL the fixings, ALL the trimmings, most of which she grew/raised/made herself from scratch. Hells, she would butcher the turkey she raised some years and churn her own butter. But when she passed, to cover expenses, my mother sold the farm and we moved. A lot of her skills with food and her recipes as well as the farm went when she passed.We were living outside Philly, in a small cottage apartment, Neither of us wanted to go to my dad’s family’s for the day. Between their personalities and the 3.5 hr drive each way so she could work the next day… Nah.We had debated what to do. A full turkey was too much for just me and her. As was trying to copy the buffet of foods my grandmother would put out. And because it wasn’t the time of year, there were big seafood sales where we were, we found rock lobsters on sale. The lobsters were actually cheaper than a full turkey. So, a new tradition was on its way. We then went to the local dairy and Amish grocer. So some veggies, Amish made butter and milk, and a couple of delmonico steaks, a few other items and we had our new traditional Thanksgiving dinner.It was such a decadent, indulgent dinner, especially to my 3rd grader mind. We spent the day in our PJs, cooking and snacking as we made dinner. And it ended with us indulging in rare, tender steaks, buttery rich lobsters, loaded baked potatoes, garden-fresh green bean casserole, fresh fruit and all the raw veggies i could cram into myself. And we later had dessert which was an Amish made apple pie and local dairy ice cream.And for those that don’t know why “Amish” is specifically mentioned, back in the 1980’s food was different. Most stores carried a variety of “locally sourced meat and produce/dairy”. But for old-fashioned raised, grown, produced food goods you went to the Amish nearby (in PA) and it was often cheaper than the grocery store. Way back in the day, you paid less for locally sourced, organic, produced the “old fashioned way” foods.
Is it weird not to like pie?
People are so different! Thank God! I love pie, making them, eating them, smelling a house where one was just baked. Of course I hate sour cream so everyone thinks I'm crazy. My friend Will hates chocolate and mushrooms and LOVES grits...can you imagine how wierd people think he is? My friend David also hates apple pie, I made him and his girlfriend apple pie (because I'm famous through my own people for my apple crisp) I spent all day on it to find out that he would not even think to touch my poor pie. So see, you are not alone! Be glad you are an individual!
What thing do you make that your mother (or other parental figure) made that brings you right back to childhood?
If not for the holidays, I would have known absolutely nothing about being Jewish. However, when it came to the holidays, we were a no holds barred, all out, in your face, cooking up a storm, bunch of racing the clock Jews. This is my favorite of my childhood memories!My mother cooked every dish that you could imagine. Most people would have a salad, soup, meat and two sides…but, my mom…NEVER ENOUGH! She cooked as if the U.S. ARMY was coming to dinner!In addition to the usual turkey and brisket (pot roast) there was tzimmus (carrot, sweet potato, new potato, corn syrup, prunes, and marshmallow baked on the top, green beans, farfel (a bready pasta with onions-salty and mild), Stuffing from the bird and another baked crispy outside it, baked potatoes, beets, leek (if it was Rosh Hashanah), and more!If that was not enough, there was dessert! We had rugelach, pie, cakes, cookies, brownies, and my all time, absolute most, undeniably favorite!!! Cranberry Jello Ring! This was a jello mold with whole, crushed, cranberry, walnuts, raisins, and crushed pineapple…with the center filled with a beautiful blend ofnspur cream, whipped cream, a little vanilla extract, and sugar. Once the jello set, younput the mold in warm water, covered the open side with a large serving plate and flipped it over leaving the jiggling tower or magic standing proudly, awaiting its fresh creamy crown!Kill me now!I would die and go straight to heaven! If not from a heart attack from all that fat!
